malware, rogue antivirus, pharming, crimeware, botnets, and
emerging techniques

malvertising, cookie stuffing, and affiliate fraud

disruption
- Technical, legal, political, social and psychological aspects of
fraud and fraud prevention
- Economics of online crime, including measurement studies of
underground economies and models of e-crime
- Uncovering and disrupting online criminal collaboration and gangs
- Financial infrastructure of e-crime, including payment processing
and money laundering
- Techniques to assess the risks and yields of attacks and the
effectiveness of countermeasures
- Delivery techniques, including spam, voice mail, social network and
web search manipulation; and countermeasures
- Techniques to avoid detection, tracking and take-down; and ways to
block such techniques
- Best practices for detecting and avoiding damages to critical
internet infrastructure, such as DNS and SCADA, from electronic
crime activities
Accepted papers will be published in proceedings. In addition, cash

*Instructions for Authors*
eCRS has adopted the IEEE publication format.
Submissions should be in English, in PDF format with all fonts
embedded, formatted using the the IEEE conference template, found
here:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
Submissions should include author names, affiliations and
acknowledgments. They should not exceed 12 letter-sized pages, not
counting the bibliography and appendices. Papers should begin with a
title, abstract, and an introduction that clearly summarizes the
contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist
reader. Papers should contain a scholarly exposition of ideas,
techniques, and results, including motivation, relevance to practical
applications, and a clear comparison with related work. Committee
members are not required to read appendices, and papers should be
intelligible without them. Submitted papers risk being rejected
without consideration of their merits if they do not follow all the
above guidelines. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work
that was published elsewhere, or work that any of the authors has
submitted in parallel to any other conference or workshop that has
proceedings.
Authors will be asked to indicate whether their submissions should be
considered for the best student paper award; any paper co-authored by
a full-time student is eligible for this award.
Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be
presented at the conference. A limited number of stipends are
available to those unable to obtain funding to attend the
conference. Students whose papers are accepted and who will present
the paper themselves are given priority to receive such
assistance. Requests for stipends should be addressed to the general
chair after September 10.
Full papers have to be submitted via EDAS through the following short
link: http://edas.info/N12761. First, papers have to be registered,
then authors can upload their papers. A successful submission can be
viewed in EDAS, and a confirmation email is sent to the corresponding
author. Please make sure you receive that confirmation email when you
submit, and follow the directions in that email if you require any
follow up.
*Research In Progress (RIP)*
A special category is available in the paper submission system for
Research in Progress (RIP). This category allows for research that is
not yet ready for publication but would be of interest to other
researchers for presentation and discussion. For consideration in this
category please submit an extensive abstract via the paper submission
system.
RIPs have to be submitted via EDAS through the following short link:
http://edas.info/N12761. First, RIPs have to be registered, then
authors can upload their papers. A successful submission can be viewed
in EDAS, and a confirmation email is sent to the corresponding
author. Please make sure you receive that confirmation email when you
submit, and follow the directions in that email if you require any
follow up.
